Norwegian Air Shuttle, Europe's third-largest budget airline, is not in talks to buy Air Berlin, the company told Reuters on Friday, denying a report in business daily Finansavisen that it was.
"Under normal circumstances we would not comment on such rumors and speculations in the market. But on this occasion I can deny that Norwegian Air is a potential buyer," Norwegian Air spokeswoman Anne-Sissel Skaanvik said in an interview.
Air Berlin said on Wednesday it was in advanced talks over options and was therefore pushing back its annual results a week, pushing up its shares 15 percent in the session.
Norwegian Air is Europe's third-largest airline by passenger numbers after Ryanair and EasyJet.
